title: Proxy Provider
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
This provider is to be used in conjunction with [Outposts](../outposts/outposts.md)
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
This provider protects applications, which have no built-in support for OAuth2 or SAML. This is done by running a lightweight Reverse Proxy in front of the application, which authenticates the requests.
|
|
|
|
passbook Proxy is based on [oauth2_proxy](https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy), but has been integrated more tightly with passbook.
|
|
|
|
The Proxy these extra headers to the application:
|
|
|
|
| Header Name | Value |
|
|
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| X-Forwarded-User | The user's unique identifier (**not the username**) |
|
|
| X-Forwarded-Email | The user's email address |
|
|
| X-Forwarded-Preferred-Username | The user's username |
|
|
| X-Auth-Username | The user's username |
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can add more custom headers using `additionalHeaders` in the User or Group Properties, for example
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
additionalHeaders:
|
|
X-additional-header: bar
|
|
```
